Secret to Life

"If you look at zero, you see nothing. When you look through it, you see everything."

Antoinette Pienaar lives in the Great Karoo - a barren landscape in the centre of South Africa. Many people question how she survives in this desolate space. But for Antoinette, it is a place to thrive. She has come to learn that by sitting quietly and paying attention, a world of beauty is revealed. She has found her secret to life.
